The hotel has a stunning location with gorgeous ocean views, and the rooms are quite spacious and clean. The service was outstanding, with friendly staff adding a personal touch to the experience. However, I found the rooms to be a bit overpriced considering some dampness. Additionally, the dining options were good, but there were few expensive choices on the menu.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had a lovely view of the beach, and the one-bedroom accommodation was nice with kitchen facilities. However, the decor felt old and tired, and there were several maintenance issues. The service was friendly, although a bit inexperienced. The location was great for activities, but getting around was a bit challenging with crutches. Overall, a decent stay but not without its flaws.
